Amazon Cuisine
Loreto , Ucayali , San Martin and Madre de Dios Regions.
Food in the Amazon is full of exotic delicacies. Chonta or palm tree heart salad is a delicious entrée. Meats and plantains are ever present in the main dishes, like grilled banana plantains (tacacho) with deep-fried beef (cecina) served with chopped onions and dried meat, or stuffed bananas, a banana dough stuffed with beef and peanuts.
Fowl, fish and wild meat are indispensable ingredients in preparing “juanes” (rice dough stuffed with chicken and wrapped in banana leaves for cooking), grilled “picuro” (delicious wild meat), “apishado” or pork cooked in a peanut and corn sauce, and “patarashca” fish wrapped in banana leaves and cooked over a fire.
Soups include “inchicapi” chicken soup with peanuts, coriander and manioc and "carachama” fish soup cooked also with banana plantain and coriander.
